Does Amazon still offer Amazon Flex jobs?
Being on disability, I feel that I can still work but only for Amazon Flex or Gopuff since they let you set your own hours. I honestly don't know day to day how many hours I'll be able to work and when. I receive tons of emails and text messages stating that there are Amazon Flex and Gopuff delivery driver positions inside. When I open the email and open the appropriate link, I have yet to see a response from Amazon Flex and Gopuff's application always gets a message to the effect that I've already begun the application process for Gopuff and I need to wait to hear from them. I'm not holding my breath because they don't reply. I would like to update my application for both companies since I've learned a lot in the past few months about how to make my resume stand out. I don't even know if I submitted my resume but if I did, I know that it's out-of-date since I recently made significant improvements. #application
I'm aware that Social Security disability benefits and the Return to Work/Trial Period /permitted earnings are as follows. I can get a job as part of the Return to Work program with unlimited earnings for the 9-month Trial Period. Once the Trial period is over, that's when the earnings become restricted to continue to receive Social Security disability benefits. I should point out that during the 9-month trial period that has no earnings restrictions, I will continue to receive Social Security disability benefits. I have to submit my paychecks to Social Security so they can keep track of how many months I've been working as part of the Return to Work Program. After the 9-month trial period, the permitted earnings vary from year to year. I tried working part-time as a cashier as part of the Return to Work program but soon learned that I can't work a part-time job or full-time job being on my feet for virtually the entire shift even if it's only for 4 hours so I had to leave my cashier's job and look for something that wouldn't require me to be on my feet the whole time. I believe that a delivery driver position with the right company would be Ideal. However, I won't be able to drive a vehicle other than my d of September. That's an issue with PennDOT, not Social Security and is a very long story that I won't bore you with other than to say that I 'm trying to have the September date moved up because I was given incorrect information that PennDOT is currently investigating especially since I was able to provide proof that I should have been able to drive any vehicle besides one requiring a CDL on September 12th, 2021. As I mentioned, it's a long story. The only other thing that I was told by a Social Security disability representative that they only count the 9 months if I earn a certain amount of income. Since I never exceeded that amount while working as a cashier, when I go back to work, the 9-month trial period hasn't started. I realize that this is all rather confusing and I'm going off a phone call with Social Security disability over a year ago but it was pretty clear to me how the program works. As far as I know, nothing has changed except the permitted earnings after the 9-month trial period. It might have been two years ago since at the time, I was told the earnings restriction after the 9-month trial period was $1260 gross which I was also told that it increased every year. The only thing that I'm fuzzy on is during the 9-month trial period, even though there are no earnings limitations, Social Security starts to count the 9-month trial period if I earn a certain amount. I guess I need to call Social Security to go over the details again especially the earnings. I apologize for such a long response and if you have any recent information about the Social Security Return to Work/Trial Period program, please respond to this message. I believe someone responded that the permitted earnings after the 9-month trial period had increased to $1360. I also believe that that's $1360 gross, not net. I would appreciate any comments, corrections or updates. Thanks.
Hi Eugene,
Here is some information about the type of jobs Amazon offers, click the link to view flex job opportunities: https://hiring.amazon.com/?cmpid=SAGOSD0967H9:pcid-17281788190:agid-135187745965:adid-598404224811:tct-br:kwd-amazon%20jobs:mt-p:ext-:lng-en:ct-us&gclid=Cj0KCQjw852XBhC6ARIsAJsFPN0aTP1GF3atiFH9UmPQN3uxH-HSx9uVS5skeWB1IlW3-_R-DzpSMD4aAmnqEALw_wcB#/
So once again or you know what just Google how many hours can I work on social security disability Or actually what is the maximum amount of money I can make a month on social security disability and that will confirm my answer
So if I'm making $14 an hour it was an hour times 24 it gets me just under the $1360 Max you can make On disability
With working 20 or 25 hours a week it actually goes by goes by how much you're making per hour
If you're on disability you the only work like 20 to 25 hours a week if I'm not mistaken so you don't want to get anything that's going to stress you out or be too strenuous maybe try a supermarket
I reread the comments responding to my first question and it sounds like Social Security disability benefits are now limited by the number of hours that I work and not a dollar amount anymore. I definitely need to call Social Security for updates.
